Dishes and a Question on a Doll...

I don't find myself buying as many Pyrex pieces as I did - because I have a lot and where am I to put it.  But, still I pick up an odd piece here and there and sometimes you just can't help yourself - you know what I mean?

The other Saturday I was headed to the store and saw a garage sale sign, there just are no garage sales around here this time of the year, so I thought I better pull in, really, I had hopes of a blow mold - none of those, but I did come out of there with something, I spent $3 for three things.


This was such a rich color and in great shape, I thought it might have looked better than the 403 that I have, Carla has a nice one as well, so I can't give it to her either, if anyone out there is looking for this bowl, I'd like to trade it.



I always like Butterfly Gold, I didn't have this 402.


I took this picture to compare the different pie plates, I bought the little one at the bottom that day, it's so much smaller than the Pink Flamingo at the top or the Flavor Saver plate, it measures 8 inches, it's a 208 and made in Canada!


I traded this cute little 473B Colonial Mist with Erica - Erica and Hanna find the greatest things - if you haven't checked out The Adventures of two (Pyrex Crazy) Thrifting Sisters, well, you just should right now.  Thanks, Erica!

I went back to the shop where I found all the Shiny Brites a while back, they're closing soon for the season, I can see why, it was freezing in there.   This 2 1/2 quart hostess bowl was a nice find, especially with the lid and it's in great shape too.


These books came from there too - I thought the Football book might be a good one to list - it's a Scholastic book, published in 1961.  The Elf Books have the sweetest illustrations, as seen below, it's from 1953.  


I spotted this on my last stroll through the store - does anyone know anything about this doll?  She is standing on a plastic base, Made in Korea is the only marking on her.  She has very unique eyes, I don't know what material her hair is.  She has cloth like hands and legs, her face is plastic, she is wearing a crinoline under her dress, with red underpants.  She looked like Christmas to me, so that's why I bought her. 

Today I'm linking up with ThriftosaurusThrifty Love,   The Nifty Thrifty and Nifty Thrifty Tuesday

  1. These dolls were really popular when I was young 60's to 70's. I remember the eyes being painted directly onto the fabric face. Her hair would probably be an acrylic or nylon.
    She definitely looks like Christmas!

  5. You found some really good stuff! I love my Pyrex but have slowed down in my collecting and even sold off lots of it to a friend with a antique booth.

    hugs, Linda

  6. Don't you love how our good intentions of not bringing home more Pyrex always gets the best of us? I just can't leave it behind. I love the yellow Hostess dish. We used ours for the first time last night. We had Mexican food and Maddie put tortilla chips in it when she set the table. I got the glasses you sent me today and they are PERFECT! Thank you so much and I think that you and I have proven that if you just take the time and effort to package breakables properly, you can ship them internationally.

    Have an awesonme week!

  7. Hmmm...that is a little mystery doll. She's darn cute. Yes, I believe I "stopped" collecting PYREX awhile ago. But somehow I still manage to take in an average of 1 piece per week. Ahhhh!
    Love that Asopes book!

  9. I saw one of the Yellow Hostess bowls today, but it didn't look near as lovely as the one you found. And it has the lid! Awesome!

  10. I love that pretty doll! She sure does look like Christmas. I would love to pick up some more Pyrex. I guess I just don't know where to look!
    Blessings,

  11. Glad your Colonial Mist made it OK across the border! I was lucky enough to find my yellow hostess with the lid, too... from Goodwill! I still can't help myself, picking up every nice piece I see.. because I've convinced myself that I am going to open a booth. Whether this is a front to hoard, I am yet to find out.

  12. Cute finds! What would you be interested in trading for the green bowl? I don't have a lot of Pyrex yet, but if I know what you're looking for, I'll keep my eyes opened for you.
